Chapter 1131 Assassination failed


Chapter 1131 Failed Assassination

Although there were relatively few people here, Ferdinand still happily greeted the crowd, and amidst the cheers of the crowd, no one noticed Garilov’s unusual behavior. .

Finally, Ferdinand's car was getting closer and closer to Garilov's position, and the distance between the two sides was less than five meters away.

Looking at the right moment, Garylov suddenly accelerated a few steps closer, and at the same time, his hands moved, and a Browning pistol suddenly appeared in the air.

At this time, the scene when Garilov suddenly separated from the crowd and approached Ferdinand's car naturally attracted everyone's attention.

Including Ferdinand himself, after seeing a young man break away from the crowd, his instinctive alarm went off. In conjunction with Garrylov's action of pulling out a gun, Ferdinand did not think that Garrylov would take it out of his arms at this time. Anything but a pistol.

Garilov's heartbeat accelerated. Looking at Archduke Ferdinand who was so close, he was in a daze for a short time. He did not hesitate to pull the trigger of his pistol, and a sharp gunshot broke the noise of Sarajevo.

When Garilov pulled the trigger, Ferdinand reacted immediately and hid behind the car at high speed.

But unfortunately, Garilov was very close to Ferdinand, and the shot hit Ferdinand on the right side of the chest through the car window.

Garilov wanted to shoot a few more times, but unfortunately he had lost his target. After all, the car only had one window to aim and shoot, and the car was already moving around the corner, so in the blink of an eye, Garillo My husband could only see the rear of the car.

Garylov didn't have time to think, and instinctively fired two more shots at the rear of the car, hoping to pose a more deadly threat to Ferdinand through the body.

At the same time as Garilov was shooting, another member of the Black Hand organization finally took action. Unfortunately, he was not in a position like Garilov, so he could only shoot at Ferdinand's car.

The streets of Sarajevo were already in chaos. The Austro-Hungarian soldiers who reacted began to arrest the murderer and surrounded Ferdinand's car in the middle. This basically announced that this round of assassination operations had stopped.

A soldier with obvious Chinese ancestry rushed forward with a rifle and hit Garilov hard on the head, who was still trying to shoot again.

As a soldier of the Bosnian local forces, his position was originally at the rear of Ferdinand's car. As for the front of the motorcade, there was a guard of honor carefully selected by the Sarajevo city government and the military.

The butt of the gun hit Garilov's head. The soldier showed no mercy at all. Garilov only felt his head was hot and his eyes were blurry.

Blood seeped out of his hair, and the Chinese soldier continued to attack violently, kicking Garilov's pistol to the ground, and using the rifle as a support, he pushed Garilov to the ground. After a few seconds, others arrived and helped him subdue the criminal completely. By this time, Garilov had long lost consciousness.

......

"My God! My dear, how are you?" The matter was far from over. In the car, Ferdinand's wife Sofia was completely panicked.

Because she was sitting on the inside, Sophia was not in danger. In the original history, she was also shot because of the convertible design of the car.

The Bosnian military government chief, Potiorek, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was also panicked. After all, the person who was in trouble was the Grand Duke of the imperial family.

Fortunately, as a soldier, Potiorek quickly showed his due performance, and he began to quickly command the scene.

"Madam Grand Duke, we should send the Grand Duke to the hospital first at this time. He was only shot once in the chest. Maybe he can be revived."

Ferdinand did not lose consciousness completely. , he held his chest with one hand and touched Sophia's head with the other and said: "I... feel It can still be rescued, don’t worry!”

Archduke Ferdinand and Sofia were considered true love. After all, Sofia was just a palace maid. In an ancient palace like Habsburg, Archduke Ferdinand was a A top nobleman chooses a palace maid as his wife. It is obvious that the two of them still have a relationship. At this time, Potiorek was also comforting him: "Your Majesty the Grand Duke, you will definitely be safe and sound."

He turned to the driver and said: "After I get off the car, go directly to the nearest hospital."

After that, he opened the door and got out of the car. After all, there were many things to do next. When Ferdinand was injured, he was the person in charge at the scene.

Soon, under the command of Potiorek, his adjutant led the way and escorted Ferdinand and his wife to the hospital. At the same time, in order to avoid the tragedy from happening again, this time Ferdinand's car was surrounded directly in front of him. He followed a large group of soldiers and trotted along. Fortunately, this was the city center and the hospital was not far away. Potiorek stayed at the scene of the incident and began to arrest people.

Soon, the disgraced Garilov and his two accomplices were brought to Potiorek. At this time, Garilov was still in a coma.

Potiorek pointed at Garilov and asked: "Who captured the murderer?"

As the real murderer, Garilov can be said to have left a deep impression on Potiorek. After all, He was sitting in the passenger seat, and if Garrilov's gun had been slightly deflected, he might have been a direct victim.

"Reporting to the general, it is Juno of the Bosnian Infantry Regiment!"

A strange name came to Potiorek's ears. After all, this kind of name was not in line with European tradition. He asked Said: "Is he an Ottoman?"

"No, he is a Chinese, or a soldier from the lower reaches of the Neretva River."

"No wonder!" said Potiorek.

Potiolek still has some understanding of the soldiers under his rule. There are two types of people in the Bosnian Infantry Regiment that are very unique. One is the Ottomans. After all, the Austro-Hungarian Empire is a Catholic country, so choose the Ottomans. It is very unethical to use pagans like people as a source of troops.

Another well-known group is the Chinese in the lower Neretva River Valley. In recent years, due to the obedience of Chinese soldiers, the Bosnian Infantry Regiment has recruited many Chinese soldiers.

Potiolek met with the Chinese soldier named Juno. Although he was not unfamiliar with Chinese soldiers, Juno's fluent German further aroused Potiorek's favor. , after all, in local forces like Bosnia, the language is not unified at all.

Potiolek decided to re-employ a Chinese immigrant like Juno who spoke fluent German, provided, of course, that he could continue to serve locally.

After all, Archduke Ferdinand had an accident in front of him. If Archduke Ferdinand died unfortunately, it would definitely have a certain impact on his future.

So after briefly chatting with Juno, Potiorek rushed towards the hospital where Archduke Ferdinand was staying.

However, the final result still made Potiorek breathe a sigh of relief. Although Archduke Ferdinand was hit in the chest, fortunately it was not hit in a fatal position. The bullet was still a certain distance from the heart. The impact on the lungs was relatively large, and because the incident occurred in the city center and was close to the hospital, the rescue was relatively timely, so Archduke Ferdinand's life was saved.

And this is completely different from history. In the previous life, Archduke Ferdinand was directly hit in the neck by Principle, and there was no chance of rescue. This time, it was just because of the difference in car design that the murderer was not given the chance. Leaves too many opportunities.

Even the five shots at the back did not cause further harm to the occupants because of the bulletproof performance of the car. As time goes by, the defensive properties of cars like this, which are specially produced for dignitaries, will naturally be greatly improved. After all, the first car produced in East Africa used bulletproof windows. In recent years, the technology has become more mature. This is also the main reason why Garilov cannot make further achievements.

If Ferdinand had not waved to the crowd at that time, but had closed the car windows tightly, the assassins of the Mafia organization might not even have found the opportunity to assassinate him. So to a certain extent, it can be said that the car produced in East Africa saved Ferdinand and his wife. life.
